Today was supposed to be the Lone Star Girl's first high school swim meet and the Lone Star Baby's first soccer game of the season. I had elaborate inter-dimensional schemes for making both (and they involved my sister), but I did not end up needing the schemes, due to the soccer game being rained out. Lone Star Pa and the Soccer Girl were very disappointed, but I was a little relieved, being somewhat concerned about the effects that my plans might have on the time-space continuum.
The Lone Star Girl loved her first high school meet and I enjoyed attending it (except for the loud whistles). I could not help noticing how extremely touchy and flirty all the wet, swimsuit-clad teens were with each other, even the ones who I knew had no real interest in, shall we say, courting. I was reminded of the behavior of young people in the theatre when I was all ripe and young like that. I felt like writing sociology papers about teen swimmers. Or just about teens. High school is indeed upon us, people. It is.
After the meet, the Lone Star Girl and I ran some mildly frivolous errands together and then decided that it was raining too much to continue and came home before running any of the truly practical errands. I mulched the Daisies' garden service project for tomorrow. We hung out on the couch. All in all, it has been a rather peaceful day, really.
'Night, Scouts.
